However, unlike the company's previous models, such as the [P1](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/p1-motor-club) and P4, the new P7 has been significantly scaled up in size; the EV is being offered in lengths ranging from 19.7 to 28.4 feet. Because of this, the P7 is intended to be used as a base for trucks or vans. In a three-way partnership, step-van maker [Morgan Olson](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-plus-four), chassis Manufacturer EAVX, and REE teamed up to develop an extra-large delivery van called the 'Proxima,' which utilizes the new P7 platform. The new delivery vehicle is 28.4 feet long and 7.74 feet wide and has been built to maximize storage space in the rear.
